The Lesson of History

The lesson of the history of this parish is the lesson of great hope. There has never been a time in the history of St. Joseph when the parish was rich, or even financially comfortable. The membership of the parish has been made up primarily of working people, and remains so to this day. St. Joseph has been lucky enough to have people that bond together with a common faith which comes from the church. St. Joseph located on the corner of Galapago and Sixth Avenue remains strong after 125 years, born in poverty, St. Joseph holds its head high, God is present here.
